Lesson plan After election votes have been tallied, students can create their own color-keyed maps that show which candidate won each state. Have students color red all states that Kerry won, color blue the states Bush won, and leave states won by an independent candidate white. Ask older students to determine the electoral vote results using their maps and the chart at The Electoral College. Assessment Students accurately depict the election results on their color-keyed maps. Lesson plan source Education World Submitted by Gary Hopkins
